Great View

I love this view.  It's driving through Jemseg.  What more can I say?

Geocaching

Once upon a time, Darrell, Dianna, and I found a geocache while we were backpacking in Fundy National Park. From this chance encounter, an enduring passion has developed.

There are geocaches all around us just waiting to be discovered and I intend to find as many as physically possible!!!

So far I've searched four provinces but the journey has only just begun!

You can only hide for so long, and then I will find you!

Walking Along the River

Out for a walk with Lieneke and Arjen along the Saint John River in Woodstock.

Life Goal #57 - Check!

Thanksgiving Weekend

One of my life's goals has been to get lost in a cornfield.  Well, not really get lost in one, so much as to be able to get lost in one.  To my delight, Thanksgiving Weekend at my parent's held a wonderful surprise: a giant cornfield right beside our house!

Monday, Lieneke and I disappeared into the field loaded with only our cameras (I didn't even bring the GPS!).  After stalking each other through the stalks for a while (get it?), we settled into some serious picture taking.  Little did we know, we were not alone!  A feriocious wildcat had been shadowing us for some time and was preparing to pounce!  

Luckily, Lieneke noticed it in the nick of time, shouted a warning, and attempted to shot it with her camera (she missed).  Thankfully, I know a thing or two about taming wildcats, and I soon had it purring in the sun.  What can I say?  Aneke to the rescue!

It's a Small World

Upon arriving at the New Brunswick/Quebec border we decided that both pictures and a pee break were needed (though not necessarily in that order). As we crawled out of the car, who should we see but Ron Nickerson! It's a small world!

Quebec Trip - The Drive

One blustery weekend in May, Audrey, Tim, and I decided to head up to Old Quebec for a quick little vacation. We would stay in Chateau Frontenac (thanks to Audrey's connections!), explore the old city, and maybe even take in a tour or two.

We left Moncton Thursday morning around 5am (give or take...) with Audrey and I taking in the sights (of our eyelids) and Tim shouldering the brunt of the driving. I'm sure that there were interesting sights and events during the first 4 hours of the trip but I was asleep so I can't tell you about them. Eventually, Audrey and I woke up in time to enjoy being almost run off the road by a house and the road rage of a transport driver. This was our first indication that our trip was going to be one to remember! Luckily, we survived both incidents and managed to arrive safe and sound at the New Brunswick/Quebec border.

As the trip progressed, I came up with an ingenius way to drink my pop without actually having to pick up the can! As you can see, all you need to do is find a ridiculously long piece of licorice, bite off both ends, insert one end into the can, and VOILA! you have a straw! Of course, it didn't work all that well, but that's just a minor detail!
